KNovN As nARD oAsHa,
CANADIAS TRADE.
Damage Done Sy the later state Gem
meree Law.


WAsHISaroH, May 4.-The State De-
partment has received aud transmitted
to the Inter. State Osmmefos O0mmis-
sion . letter from tbs United States
Commercial Agent at London. Ontario,
in relation TO the effects Of the Inter
State Commerce Law en- the trade be-
tween the United States and Canada.
The letter declares that since the Law
vent into operation the imports into
Canada from the United States have
greatly fallen OF, and that ENGLAND is
securing the trade thus lost. owing 10
the inability Of American shippers to
know what the through rates are. The
Canadian railways osnnot yet give
through rates over their own and their
connections with American lines, and
the shippers are consequently unwilling
TO let their goods 20 10 the frontier, not
knowing what further delivery TO inland
or seabOard points viii cost. The letter
says q settlement must shortly be ar
rived ct or eur commerce will receive
such damage thst il will take years TO
regain the lest trade which at present
we enjoy in this country. An example
has Just come under notice Of Cana
dian merchant who tried to make a pur-
chase Of California goods amounting 70
about SO 600, but had 20 give Il up on
account Of the inability Of the American
railways to make him a freight rate,
aud consequently be purchased else
where; and In some cases where ship
meats have gone oat, tbe rates have
been 90 much higher than before the
passage Of the bill that they have lost
sll profit and discouraged shippers from
repeating their oonsinPments. The In
crease has been from % 10 100 per cent.
above the old rates, which is q bad con-
dltion Of affairs, while the prices remain

to illustrate the tube. A car takes
the place of the charge, the tube to
be Indefinitely continuous and the
speed of the car to be governed by
the rapidity with which air can be
forced through. Time is required to
establish current of air flowing
with great swiftness through a tube
perhaps thousands of miles in length,
but after once created, the motion
will be entirely uniform. The speed
of the current may be made as great
as may be decided by using the steam
driver false employed in blast fur
naces. Niagara Falls could drive blast
fans and furnish motive power to
keep in motion the trains to connect
with the Old World. The tempera4
ture within the tube may be regu-
lated by passing blasts of air entering
the tube through furnaces or over
ice, The speed attainable may reach
one thousand miles an hour. The
tube lining and car exterior would
be of polished steel, with corrugated
sides, matching in the wheels provid-
ed with anti-friction bearings. The
speed. owing to the curvature of the
earth's surface will tend 10 overcome
all weight. and the pressure will be
upon the upper part of the tube.
Thus there is scarcely any limit to
the speed attainable. Col. Pierce is
confident that his scheme will be a
success. but he anticipates some
trouble in finding capitalists to back
him M.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-During
the week ended July Is, 1887. the
weather has been warmer than usual,
except in the Gulf States, Northern
New England and on the Pacific
coast. the average daily excess rang
ing from 8 to degrees from the Mid
die Atlantic States westward to the
Rocky mountains. 1t has been
slightly cooler than usual in the cot
ton region, and on the Pacific coast
the daily average was from 3 to 5
degrees below the normal. The aver
age daily temperature for the season
from January l to July 16. 1887, diff
fers but slightly from the normal in
the agricultural districts. there being
daily excess of about degree in
the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri
valleys. The season has been slightly
cooler than usual on the South At
lantic coast and from Lake Superior
westward to the Pacific coast. Dur
ing the week there has been a de-
ficiency in rainfall generally through
out all agricultural districts east of
the hockey mountains, except in
Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, Col
orado and Eastern Dakota, where
slight excuses are reported. The
rainfall has also been slightly in ex-
cess at stations on the New England
coast. Reports received during the
week Indicate that the weather has
been favorable for the cotton crop in
the eastern and central portions of
the cotton region, but in sections of
the lower Mississippi valley condi-
tions are varied. There has been an
excess of temperature and more than
the usual amount of sunshine In the
corn regions, and these conditions,
combined with the deficiency of rain
fall for the week. have probably re-
suited IN some injury to this crop. In
New England and the Middle Attain
tic States the weather has affected
favorably all growing crops. The
indications at 7 this morning, July
II, are that showers will occur in the
next twenty-four hours in the west
ern portions of the corn belt, where
they are greatly needed.

Garrett County Resolutions.

The Frederick Citizen takes JUNCTION
at the terms of these resolutions.
They are very pronounced against
"soreheads and Satellites" whatever
these may mean.
In addition it is pronounced that
there is "phalanx" in Garrett that
threatens much havoc with the Re.
publican party somewhere. Wejudge
that this "phalanx" is not intended
for home use, but, that like that Of
Alexander, it is to INVADE remote
countries and spread terror and de-
struction in it's horrid march. The
Citizen certainly knows that the
phalanx is not made for home useD

Congressional election, proves that il

Business Barometer.

New YORK, July 15.-R. G. Dun
q Co., in their weekly review of trade
says: Exports of breadstuffs, cotton,
animals and animal products and
petroleum in June were S32 1868, PIT
against $3S, 63S, 224 for the same
month last year. Breadstuffs in
creased $500, 200, and cattle $271 900.
Cotton decreased $9,1OO,000. provi-
sions 100000 and oil $344 900. With
other exports as last year the aggre-
gate for June would be $4,000, 900
against about S59.O0O,O00 imports,
making the excess of imports for
three months S40,000.000. Cotton
held above foreign markets accounts
for S250.00O of this loss. and recent
failures indicate that this speculation
was not worse than the one in wheat.
The unloading of those who bought
wheat after Kershaw's failure has
depressed No. 2 red here to S29, a fall
of over 4 cents for the week and 244
cents since June 80. With exports
of 153, 100000 bushels for the past
year, the stock carried over includes
34,000,000 bushels visible supply,
100000 bushels in California, and

was concentrated upon the angle. So
continuous and heavy was our fire
that the head logs of the breastwork

The New York World has been
making inquiries by which it finds
that seventy per cent of the labor vote
in New York city is drawn from the
Democratic party. Basing its calcu-
lations upon this percentage and the
votes polled in the last elections the
World shows that had there been a
labor candidate Blaine's majority in
New York would have been nearly
$4,000 and Ira Davenport's majority
over Hill would have been $4,000.
Judging from these figures, we con.
clude that a distinctive labor candi-
date in the field there next year. will
to say the least, greatly derange

Attentions to Blaine.

CHICAGO, July 18.-A cable to the
Ne10S says: Mr.. Blaine has been
pressed to attend the ParnelI ban
quet at London next Wednesday.
The political magnificence of the
event is anticipated by a gorgeous
circular, signed by seventy three
Gladstonian members. in which they
say they have decided to express
their sympathy for the Irish people
and their representatives at this try
ing period of their national history.
Mr.. Blaine has received one of
these letters from three Irish men,
bers, urging him to be present. He
said yesterday he thought he would
run down to London Tuesday night
While at Dunfermline he was inter-
viewed by an Edinburgh editor, to
whom he said he was delighted at
the prospect held out by many poll
ticians here that the Gladstonians
would sweep the boards at the next
general elections in Scotland.

Hale, Carnegie and King took a

besides all flour on hand-facts which
establish the correctness of estimates
made months ago that the surplus
would exceed 5O,OOO,000 bushels.
In spite of railroad earnings. which
gained Is per cent. in June, and en-
couraging assurance by prominent
men and continued proof that the
Inter State act is not to be so con-
strued by the courts as to do all the
harm apprehended, prices of stocks
have been lower. The market de-
ponds not upon values or earnings,
but upon individual notions as to the
question whether the famous lives

on end if one banker calls doubt

along the line. So everybody waits
for the market, and the market waits
for the long promised settlements"
to materialize.
Why investors are not buying,
statistics of new buildings and real
estate sales may explain. If the
country has in six months invested
$400, 900, 900 in new buildings, $780,
900 more in developing Southern
manufactures and mines, besides the
cost of buildings and as much more
in the rest of the country, and $780,
900, 900 in the new railroad building,
it cannot have an unlimited sum
ready to employ in lifting prices of
stocks, less assessments paid, are
about per cent higher than year
ago; pork SO per cent higher, cotton
10 per cent higher, coffee SO per cent
higher, steel rails 10 per cent higher.
pig iron II per cent higher, wheat 4
per cent lower, corn per cent lover,
oil 9 per cent lower, and beef Is per
cent lower.
From all interior points trade re-
ports are favorable considering The
season, and collections fair. Money
is a trifle easier at Nashville, in good
demand at Cleveland and plenty at
Kansas City and Detroit, Unusual
activity in tobacco is noted at Gin
cinnati. A syndicate is said to have
bought 100000 pounds, a third of
Kentucky's "blue grass crop" Iron
is stronger. The New York state
ment of iron production is 10000
pounds less for the half year than the
Pittsburgh account, which would
make the half years consumption of
domestic and imported iron and steel
4,25S, 900 tons against 1885, 900 for the
first half of 1886.
Some stringency at western points
affects the price of wool. A sale of
$500 pieces is noted at 413c against
soc last year. and one house opens
light weight cheviouts at S1.25. which
were reduced to S1.37 last year. In
the cotton branch, dry goods prices

Over 2I,O0O voters have registered

Over II 1000 voters have registered
their choice for Republican Presi-
dental candidates in the columns of
q Toledo paper. The vote came from
every State and Territory of the
Union and therefore cannot be said
to SAVIOR of State preference. The
vote, the largest straw vote ever TAX
en-, developed some surprise. and
showed that Blaine still holds the
affections of Republicans. His vote
was 1900. Sherman come second
with a total vote of 6,784 as first
choice for the same position. The
great surprise was that the quiet
Robert T. Lincoln comes third as the
first choice of 2,237 votes for Presi-
dent, is the second choice of as many
more and leads all competitors for
Vice President with 1896 votes. The
result of the vote would indicate the
choice of Blaine for President and
Lincoln for Vice-President. In case
Blaine cannot get the nomination it
would seem his strength would pass
to Sherman. If neither Blaine nor
Sherman can get the nomination
Lincoln would come in as the dark
horse. Pennsylvania cast 1926 votes
for first choice as follows: Blaine,
go; Sherman, 214; Lincoln, liz ;
Allison, 8 and the rest scattering.
For second choice Sherman gets 4OS,
Lincoln, 1856. and Blaine 159 for

The Legislature of Pennsylvania
has made itself Immortality popular
with that large representation of peo-
pie who have all along recognized the
evil of the wanton destruction of the
forestry of the state by certain class
of individuals who live only for their
own gain regardless of the interests
in which others are involved. The
destruction of the forests in Pennsyl-
vania became unusually wanton and
extensive and the step taken by the
Legislature was none too soon to af-
feet the purpose of those who have
the preservation of the forests at
heart. But not only in Pennsylvania,
in Maryland and in almost every
other State in the Union the destruc.
ton of the forest growth has been
going on year after year regardless of
the consequences, and much valuable
timber has been WantOnly wasted
which the country can ill afford to
spare. A strict legislative act should
have the desired effect in this matter
and it is gratifying to know that
Pennsylvania, although very slow
about it, has at last realized the me-
cessity for such law as will protect
the forests. The laws of nature have
long ago demanded their preserva-
ton, and in conjunction with the
strictly enforced laws of man some
thing of good should now come of the
matter.
